• Inspired to live life to the full - Amazing Rangoli Artists!

  Thu 16 Nov 2023 G Jones

  Look at these beautiful Rangoli patterns that Penguin Class created outside today! I had to capture them before the rain washed them away as the children worked so hard on them. Rangoli is an ancient art form from India and Rangoli patterns are drawn in homes and courtyards to celebrate occasions such as Diwali.

  

• Courageously Learning - Challenge Support Partner Visit - Reading

  Tue 14 Nov 2023 A Martin

  Today we had a visit from a Challenge Support Partner as part of our school improvement and she carried out a 'deep dive' into Reading and Phonics. I thought you may like to see some photos of the amazing reading provision and teaching that we saw across the school with 100% of children being seen to be on task and reading and writing independently using their phonics knowledge. Huge well done to Mrs Rylands, our Reading and Phonics lead, who skillfully led the visit and for being a highly effective and inspirational leader.

  We were so lucky to receive a free day of drama workshops this week at CCI and every class really enjoyed themselves. Perform drama school came in on Thursday and ran free workshops for us and it was just what we needed on another wet day. The smiles speak for themselves!
